PPD® Laboratories Functional Service Partnerships

PPD’s innovative service models bring the experience of our industry-leading labs to your next project no matter where you need it.

PPD® Laboratories was the first CRO to offer alternative resource solutions to address the staffing challenges brought on by the evolution of our clients’ pharmaceutical development needs. We continue to deliver innovative solutions to our clients through our collaborative approach known as PPD® Laboratories FSP.

Our 20 years of FSP (functional service partnerships) experience has shown us that one size does not fit all. We create solutions to fit the particular needs of each project — from individual contributors for point-of-need situations to entire technical teams with PPD management structure.

PPD® Laboratories FSP:

Leverages the experience of a dedicated pharmaceutical laboratory to create a seamless operation and reduce the need for client oversight of contracted staff

Includes staff, instrumentation and infrastructure used exclusively on your programs

Delivers highly skilled scientists, project team members, support staff and managers for all of our customers’ pharmaceutical development needs

Simplifies communication with on-site troubleshooting handled face-to-face, in real time

We will work with you to design a FSP solution that meets your business goals and the unique needs of your program. Whether the need is individual contributors, an entire team of scientists, a satellite PPD lab within your facility or a dedicated lab at one of our campuses, you will get the same commitment to customer service and data quality.

Our innovative solutions include:

Individual contributors working at your site

Dedicated lab personnel and/or space located at one or more of our PPD Laboratories global locations
